<p style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">In 2020, archivists, educators, and students across the U.S. and Canada gathered remotely to transcribe a newly digitized
<span class="x_glossarylink">collection</span> of papers of Anna Julia Cooper—a visionary Black leader, writer, civil rights activist, and educator. This event, which was formed out of a collaboration between Douglass Day, and the existing partnership between
the Anna Julia Cooper Digital Project and the Moorland-Springarn Research Center at Howard University, precipitated the launch of the
<strong><span style="font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif"><a href="https://bwoaproject.org/" originalsrc="https://bwoaproject.org/">Black Women’s Organizing Archive (BWOA)</a></span></strong>.</span></p>
<p style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Through <span class="x_glossarylink">
digitization</span> and <span class="x_glossarylink">transcription</span> projects, community collectives, scholarly resource building, and pedagogical, critical and creative initiatives, BWOA aims to move Black women unapologetically to the forefront of late
nineteenth century social movements and organizing efforts. The <a href="https://bwoaproject.org/about/" originalsrc="https://bwoaproject.org/about/">
project’s commitment</a> to such engaging activities is intentional: “Informed by the ethical practices and community imperatives of the early pioneers of Black women’s organizing, BWOA reimagines Black women’s archives as spaces for community engagement, participatory
storytelling, and transformative public history.” Today, these principles shape their work in recovering and discussing the scattered texts of Anna Julia Cooper, Mary Ann Shadd Cary, Mary Church Terrell, and Frances Ellen Watkins Harper.</span></p>
<p style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">On <strong><span style="font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif">Tuesday, April 29 at 12:00 PM EDT</span></strong>, project leaders
